On September 14, the SCA reserved judgment after Zuma’s lawyers admitted that the quashing of hundreds of criminal charges against him were “irrational”.

 

The ANC treasurer-general and presidential hopeful Zweli Mkhize called on Nelson Mandela University's South African Students Congress leaders not to get caught up in the "politics of money".

Mkhize was speaking at a Nelson Mandela memorial lecture ahead of the university's student representative council elections next week.

Mkhize has emerged in recent weeks as a potential successor to Zuma, who is due to step down as ANC leader at the party's elective conference in December and as national president in 2019.

 

The Gauteng South High Court yesterday was struck off the roll a case in which six Economic Freedom Fighters councillors sought to interdict their removal from the Mogale City council by the EFF following their expulsion from the party.

The EFF said the court ruled against them and dismissed their case with costs.

They were fired after the completion of a disciplinary process last Saturday for voting with the ANC.

The family of slain anti-apartheid activist Ahmed Timol yesterday, welcomed the North Gauteng High Court ruling that his death was not suicide but murder by the apartheid police.
